Period B: How To Graph Sine and Cosine Functions. How To Write Sine and Cosine Functions
cosine functions. 1. Determine the phase shift. Solve bx + c = 0 . x is the phase shift. This is where you start. 2. Determine the period. How to write sine and cosine functions. 1. Draw in the midline. y = d 2. Determine the amplitude. The distance between the midline and max or min. 3. Find a sine or a cosine cycle. They cycle may be reflected over the midline. If so, a is negative 4. Determine the period. Period = end of the cycle the start. 5. Use the period to determine the frequency. Use
period =
2p . b
There is one cycle between p.s. and p.s. + period. 3. Determine the 5 intervals marks. Start at the phase shift. Each interval is 4. Draw in midline. y =d 5. Plot 5 major points. Zeros, Maxs, and Mins.
period =
2p . b
6. Determine the phase shift How far away from zero does the cycle start? 7. Use phase shift and the frequency to determine c. Solve for c in
bx + c = 0 x = p.s.
f ( x ) = a sin ( bx + c ) + d or f ( x ) = a cos ( bx + c ) + d
